Guo Shidao and Yang Dingguo glanced at each other, they have been self-reliant all these years, farming and herding, occasionally attacking, and after victory, they also brought back some loot, but they were not for the purpose of plundering. As for shouting naked like Zhang Mai: "Let's go grab it!" "That's never been the case.

"What Special Envoy Zhang said just now is in line with the art of war, but it's just ......" Yang Dingguo said: "It's just a living from plunder, which is quite contrary to the teachings of the sages, if we want to do this, isn't it the same as Hulu?" ”

Zhang Mai frowned, this old guy has been in the Western Regions for so long, how can he still have such an unruly idea in his mind: "How can we be the same as Hu Lu?" We don't do this out of animal nature, but only in the way of others! Besides, this is not a time of peace, and thanks to these Hulu, our cities are ruined, and our homes are gone! Since they refuse to live in peace with us, what kind of righteousness and morality do we tell them? So from now on it's a time of war. Even in times of war, the rules of war should be followed! I remember a saying in the Art of War: It is better to eat one stone of grain from the enemy than to produce twenty stones of grain yourself. ”

Although he didn't recite the original text, Guo Luo had already responded: "What the envoy said is good! Eat the enemy for a minute, when I am twenty bells! In fact, we should have done this a long time ago, we were too polite before! ”

Several veterans were still a little hesitant, but Yang Yi took the lead, and the younger generation shouted: "Dadu Hu, Envoy Zhang is right!" Why can't we rob the Hu people if they can rob us? ”

"Yes, this Western Regions was originally our Datang, they took advantage of our domestic war to snatch this flower, why can't we take it back?"

"That's right! When the Four Towns fell, how many things they robbed us and killed how many of us! The army of more than 100,000 people in Anxi and Beiting, plus merchants, tunnong, craftsmen and dependents, has killed hundreds of thousands of people until now, but only a few thousand people remain! Now when we snatch things back, we just get back what belongs to us. ”

"That's it! What kind of benevolence, righteousness and morality to deal with these nonsense! ”

"That's right! What are you afraid of in the blockade! As long as there is an envoy to lead, we will definitely be able to break through the blockade and fight back to Chang'an! ”

Under the turmoil, the veterans can't say anything, not to mention that they don't have a better idea now.

Seeing that there were so many people supporting him, watching Guo Luo, Yang Yi and the others gearing up, just looking forward to going out to loot right away, Zhang Mai said with a smile: "If this is the case, then this combat policy is so decided." ”

"The envoy's idea is good, but what should be done?" When Yang Dingbang said this, he didn't know whether he was ready to support Zhang Mai or asked him questions. After all, it's easy to think of a strategy on the head, but how to execute it is always ten times more difficult than to envision.

"How to do it depends on the shape. But one thing is that we can't stay here, we have to rush out, even if we are not sure, we have to go out, only when we go out can we come into contact with all kinds of people - including enemies and friends, and only then can we encounter all kinds of unexpected situations, and we should not be afraid of unexpected events, which are not bad things, but good things - because there must be a chance to win hidden in them!

"In the early days, you can use light cavalry to launch a tentative attack first, and at the same time, you must try to use the Tang people behind enemy lines to establish an intelligence network, know yourself and know your opponent, and you can win a hundred battles."

Zhang Mai didn't care that what he said was not specific at all, but at this time, he was full of passion, so he didn't care, just kept talking:

"As soon as we get reliable information, we will choose the enemy's weak point and launch an attack, and then we will become eagles, and we will fly away as soon as we miss. At the same time, the rear is to strengthen the defense, and the way to defend is not to build a strong city - we don't have the time and material resources, but to become cunning rabbits, dig a few more holes where we can hide, and don't think about farming and shepherding sheep, anyway, we don't have a large population, and we should be able to supplement rations by plundering. Fight while running and wear away the enemy's advantage. ”

Guo Luo also seemed to have become very irrational, and nodded in response: "Yes, this is called the good attacker moves above the nine heavens, and the good defender hides under the nine earths!" ”

Zhang Mai nodded in acknowledgment of his echo and continued: "When we have the upper hand, we will turn into locusts and sweep past, gnawing until there are no bones left of the enemy!" While fighting, find a way to return to Chang'an! In the end, if we can win the war and establish a political power, it will not be too late to practice benevolence and morality internally. ”

Guo Luo, Yang Yi and other young generals listened to the blood boiling, and even some middle-aged generals also nodded secretly, they had much more information in their hearts than Zhang Mai, and they had enough experience in the struggle, every time Zhang Mai said an idea, they immediately transformed it into specific tactical arrangements in their hearts such as how to advance, how to dodge, and even how to contact intelligence behind enemy lines.

Even An Liu said: "Don't think about farming and sheep herding dens? Then there is enough water to drink, and there is no need for irrigation, and I can find at least a few dozen of them north of Talas and west of Atami! ”

The scorched earth of the Dan suddenly became lively again, the generals you said a word, each described its strengths, each showed its own plans, Zhang Mai's words were like opening a gap in a certain direction on a mountaintop Honghu, and the generals of Anxi were inspired, especially the young generals, and their wisdom and wisdom immediately poured out like a big water.

But most of those veterans were silent, feeling that there were still many difficulties in the middle of the things that Zhang Mai said to be realized. However, they could not stop the enthusiasm of young people.

"These offspring are really whimsical!" Guo Shidao pondered: "However, there is no other way now......

Since there was no opposition from the Dadu Protector, this time the military tent meeting finalized the direction of returning to the east according to Zhang Mai's proposal and conveyed the instruction to try to return to the Central Plains, and the whole army was actually agitated.

Everyone knew what a dangerous journey it would be, but no one flinched!

Zhang Mai was originally more worried about the old and weak in the rear Ministry, but to his surprise, after hearing this decision, it was those old and weak who supported the return to the east the most.

Needless to say, those newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, Guo Bian and Yang Zhuo were so excited when they heard that they "want to go home" that they couldn't sit still, even those old people didn't even retreat.

"I'm finally going back to Chang'an, I'm finally going back to Chang'an......" Guo Fen's mother, Mrs. Guo, who had a foot disease, grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand after hearing about this decision from Yang Qing and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago, it should have been like this a long time ago!" ”

"But, mother-in-law, your legs."

"Legs? Ha ha! It's okay! It's okay! Mrs. Guo got up from the blanket that her son had laid for her and said, "I can still walk!" You can also ride a horse, and if you can't walk anywhere, you can leave me alone! When we first returned to the city to attack the city and the young people retreated into the spark fortress, weren't we old immortals ready to die with the city? If it weren't for the plan to burn the city without Envoy Zhang, our old bones would have been turned to ashes long ago. Anyway, if you stay here, you're waiting to die! Now this half of the old life is picked up, and it is earned for one more day! ”

Zhang Mai not only has the support of Anxi, but also has the support of young generals in the army, that is, several middle-aged generals such as An Shoujing also expressed their support for him, and immediately made a plan: Guo Shidao coordinates the overall situation; Yang Dingbang led the military department and formed a team of rangers, responsible for detecting, attacking, and looting, with Zhang Mai as the supervising army; Yang Dingguo was in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and while he was in charge of logistics, he also trained teenagers and newly annexed prisoners.

Now there are still months of food in the spark, all of which have been shipped out and ready to act!

"Guerrilla! Motion! Migration! Avoid head-on combat! Eat away at the enemy, slowly strengthen yourself, and then counterattack! ”

This was the strategic tone set at the gathering to curb the scorched earth.

Although the future is still full of uncertainties, the Tang army has no way out!

Instead of retreating step by step and being boiled to death by the gradually boiling warm water, it is better to jump hard to get a chance!

Now that it has been determined that it wants to return to the east and fight guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, the vision of the Anxi Tang Army has suddenly widened by a lot! If the high morale of the Broken Leaves was only motivated by Zhang Mai, then the young people in the Tang army were convinced that they would succeed - Chang'an seemed to have issued a call in the east, Khotanese Buddha was beckoning, and the world of flowers and flowers in Shule was waiting for them.

After the scorched earth gathering, Zhang Mai convened the top of the Tang Army to discuss the specific strategy, Zhang Mai said: "After the battle last night, I interrogated the prisoners with Captain An Shoujing overnight, and found that the garrison of Kudan was all tribes close to the deputy Khan Satuq Bogra, it seems that the attack on us was presided over by Bogra Khan, what Arslan's attitude is still unknown, but unfortunately Tugan died in the chaotic battle, and the general Holan escaped again, and he was not able to catch the high-level torture to understand. However, I heard from Guo Luo that this place is not more than 800 miles away from Barasa, and if you ride lightly, you can reach it in a few days, and Satuq Bogra's follow-up troops and horses will only arrive in these days. So you can't stay here for long. Therefore, I wanted to divide the troops into two routes, I assisted Captain Yang Dingbang to lead the Leopard Tao battalion to continue eastward, while collecting intelligence, while luring the Hui Zhu to attract their attention, while Guo Dadu Hu led the other three battalions back to join the Minbu first. ”

Guo Shidao said: "I heard Luo'er say that Bogra Khan has colluded with Huoxun, and Huoxun people are better at surviving and fighting in the wasteland mountains and forests than the Hui people, and if they drive from the southwest, the west will not be safe." ”

"After the meeting of the Metropolitan Protector and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can't stay, let alone go west or north - that's all self-defeating!" Zhang Mai said: "After the arrival of the third battalion, Shoujing can arrange a suspicious situation for us to continue to flee to the west and north, while the large army and the civil department will cross the Broken Leaf River and go south into the desert. ”

The generals were all shocked: "Desert? ”

Zhang Mai said: "We came from the southern Talas area, didn't we? And Liu An told me that this road has been used for decades, and the steel materials we rely on to build Mo Dao, as well as the good horses and horse breeds, are also from this road, right? ”

Guo Shidao sighed and said, "Yes, there are indeed our people over there, but since Bogra Khan occupied Talas, there has been no contact in the past few years......
